The Winnipeg Jets play a crucial game tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets as they look to inch closer to a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0Jets vs. Blue Jackets predictions for tonight look toward center Mark Scheifele, who continues to carry Winnipeg\u2019s offense. Read to see why one of my favorite NHL picks<\/a> for Saturday, April 4, is banking on the center to lend a helping hand to his team again.<\/p>\n

Jets vs Blue Jackets prediction
\nJets vs Blue Jackets best bet: Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists (-125)<\/p>\n

With the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> closing in on must-win territory to keep their season alive, I\u2019ll be looking for Mark Scheifele<\/a> to do what he does best: Pick up another helper tonight.<\/p>\n

Scheifele had a fantastic March, posting 22 points in 16 games \u2014 with 15 of those being assists (and finished tied for the fourth-most in the NHL over that span).<\/p>\n

The veteran center has logged a helper in three of his last five outings and continues to roll alongside longtime linemate Kyle Connor, who\u2019s found the back of the net in three of his last five as well.<\/p>\n
